Free Doughnuts! Best Day Ever! Austinist deserves a thousand thanks for telling us about Doughnut Day at Krispy Kreme. We're sure the Prudential shop has a line all the way to library, but we're still going down there for a free caramel kreme crunch.
Bostonist hopes other local eateries will join Krispy Kreme and Ben & Jerry's and give away their sugar-packed fatty goodness at least once a year. We just wish they'd wait until after bathing suit season.
EDIT: Bostonist reader says the Pru isn't participating! Bostonist called up the Medford store and the lady "thinks" they're doing it.

Boston Seventh Strangest City in U.S.


the prudential isn't participating in this today. sorry.
Ben & Jerry's has a free ice cream day every year. The last one was in late April/early May. As always, the line at the Park Plaza location was 2-3 people across and stretched halfway down the block.
